ATTORNEY 11mm L. CHARLES, or new roman. Y. QRE-SMELTING FURNAQE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed January 23, 1920. Serial No.

' To all whom it may concern c it known that I, HENRY L. CHARLES, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ore-Smelting Furnaces, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

y invention relates to improvements in smelting furnaces and has particular reference to means in combination therewith for water jacketing ore inlets thereof, and is in. the nature of a continuation in part of my forfeited application N 0. 200,614.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated in Figure 1 partly in cross-section and parts broken away, one side of the upper part of a reverberatory smelting fur nace showing an embodiment of my invention.. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view looking down upon the water box structure, shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the water jacketed ore inlet nozzle. 4 indicates one of the sidewalls of the furnace, and 5-6 the arch roof thereof which it will be observed is cut away to receive the water box 7 which is also cut away in the center providing a passage 8 into which the water jacketed ore inlet 9 projects the same being pivotally mounted at 10 by any suitable means such as the ball and socket joint shown. 11 indicates the nozzle through which the ore passes from the supply pipe 12 and is suitably water jacketed as shownto better advantagein Fig. 4: wherein it will be observed that 13-13' indicate the water inlets "and outlets, the ore passing down through'the central passage 14 into the furnace.

15 indicates a hollow water inlets and outlets cut-away portion 18 in for the passage of the nozzle 11. This slide is mounted beneath the flange 19 upon the top of the water box and over the inlet opening 8, the water in the outside water box traversing the chamber 20 around said open.- ing 8 and having inlets and outlets 21-22 slide provided with 16--17 and a tapered waste pipe may be made as may the center to allow Patented Oct. 18, 1921. 353,395.

as shown. The box is preferably seated upon the lower arch 6 which is cutaway to provide an opening corresponding with the area of the lower portion of the opening 8,

and'the box passes through the upper part the heat of the furnace by the water jack-- eting illustrated and for this purpose any suitable connection to the water mam and desirable.

Of course it will be understood that various modifications may be made in the construction and arrapgement of parts without departing from the spirit of'the invention as claimed.

I claim:

1. In combination with class described andithe ore inlet therefor, of a water box surrounding said ore inlet and a water-jacket around said ore inlet nozzle. v

2. In combination with the water box surrounding an ore inlet for a furnace of the class described, a water jacketed slide cover therefor.

3. In combination with the water jacketed ore inlet of a furnace such as described, means for pivotally mounting the nozzle of said ore inlet.

i. In a furnace of the class describechan ore ,inlet and a nozzle swiiig at an angle thereto.

In combination with a furnace of the class described, an ore inlet and a. water box therefrir, said orc inlet pivotally mounted and said water box cut away radially from the pivotal mounting of said ore inlet.

In testimony whereof I hereunto ailix my signature.
